School, Luke's 1st girlfriend, new stove, Acholi cuisine

Me in my school.  In the background are a map of East Africa, Murchison Falls and my summer reflection project.
Forrest and Luke being silly in the school house.
Luke's girlfriend - Rebecca.
True love:)
Making pancakes on our new Acholi stove.  We had to get a charcoal stove because there is no propane in Uganda for our gas stove.
Eating our first batch of pancakes from the charcoal stove.
Ooohh la la!
Our friend Mubarak showing us how to make "Manyewa" - Gnut mixed with onions, tomato, water and salt.   It was really tasty.
Me eating an acholi lunch of posho and beans.  I'm looking at the "Manyewa" coming into the hut.

  1. Well, Luke has obviously already developed an eye for the pretty girls! I am so impressed by the great "immersion" experience you are having. Manyema sounds delicious. What's happening in school these days? I hope the soccer lessons are going well. I know the fishing is going well.

    Love, love, love this blog!!!

  2. Hey you guys! Looks like you were having a fun day at school - Forrest looks like he's up to no good! And Luke certainly does seem to be rather fond of his new girl!

    Missing you guys like crazy! Lots of love.

  3. I love your photos! Pancakes on a charcoal stove look like a lot of work.
    Are you learning Acholi words? Any new games from your friends there? Maybe you could do a blog post to teach us what you've learned?
    Thank you for sharing these.
